Some occurrences which support the continental drift hypothesis include the fact that the characteristics of the edges of each continent closely match with those of other surrounding continents. The continents also have an almost jigsaw fit.
Wagner has a theory on continental drift and the evidence that did not support it is where we see the continental drift in examining species of animal and human life drifting from continent to continent without the aid of mechanical devices or some form of trasportation except for by their own feet and them being the drifters of the continents.
Scientists use the magnetic properties of some minerals as evidence of past changes in Earth's magnetic field. These changes can provide insight into the Earth's geological history, including continental drift and past climates.
Fossils, rock layers, and mountain ranges were some of the land features that provided evidence for Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift.
the continents fit together like a puzzle
There are truly only two pieces of evidence that supports this, although they are huge:The continents fit together, like a puzzleThere are species of plants and animals with slight alterations (due to adapting to different environments) present in contrasting continents and were not placed there by humans or spread by other animals (such as birds)

Yes, the presence of the same organisms on multiple continents suggests that at some point in the past, those continents were connected. This supports the theory of continental drift, which explains how landmasses have moved over time. The distribution of these similar organisms across different continents provides additional evidence for this theory.
Name a fossil that was found on different continents and was used to support the theory of continental drift.

Scientific evidence appeal is some form of proof which supports or counters a scientific theory. This is the information that will be used as empirical evidence of a hypothesis.
The scientists that found the fossils found that were found on different continents. Some of the same fossil were located on each Continent that could only survive in one climate. Therefore, a fossil provided some evidence for the continental drift to be true.

Strange question. either you have lit some magnesium (in which case you have observed it burn) or not. The evidence is in the burning.
I don't know I want to know too
Proof of Continential drift is that they found fossils of the same animals and plants on different continents.They also found the same rock patterns on different continents.Also some continents fit together likea jigsaw puzzle.
Fossils, rock layers, and mountain ranges were some of the land features that provided evidence for Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift.
Possibly from continental drift or maybe glaciers transported them during the ice age. You can find sea shells in wyoming as high as the continental divide. Maybe at one time those mountains were actually below sea level and continetal drift pushed them way above sea level but left some sea life behind.
